Must-See Steder i Schweiz
Opdag Schweiz' bedste naturlige og kulturelle vartegn - fra søer og vinmarker til middelalderbyer og alpine pas, der er værd at køre til.
Cykling gennem Schweiz handler ikke kun om turene — det handler om alt det, du passerer undervejs. Søbyer, bjergpas, middelalderlandsbyer og UNESCO-listede vartegn udfolder sig mile efter mile, hvilket giver hver rute en følelse af opdagelse.
På tværs af landets fem hovedcykelregioner er dette de steder, der definerer Schweiz — fra vinmarksterrasserne over Genèvesøen til de brostensbelagte gader i Lucerne og de rolige kyster ved Bodensøen.

Her er de must-see højdepunkter, som enhver cyklist bør opleve undervejs:
1. Bodensøen & Nordlige Søer
Flade søstier, vinmarksskråninger og middelalderbyer gør Bodensø-regionen til en af Europas mest afslappede og maleriske cykeldestinationer. Delt af Schweiz, Tyskland og Østrig kombinerer den naturskøn skønhed med ubesværet cykling og grænseoverskridende kultur.
Denne klassiske rute cirkler søen og forbinder charmerende byer, slotte og havne - hver især tilbyder et indblik i regionens blanding af schweizisk præcision og bayersk varme. Undervejs skiller disse højdepunkter sig ud:

Lake Constance
Shared with Germany and Switzerland, Lake Constance (Bodensee) offers a mix of cross-border culture and sweeping alpine views. The lakeside cycling paths are flat and well-marked, making it one of Europe’s most accessible long-distance rides. Medieval towns, vineyard slopes, and ferry crossings give variety to each stage, while the scenery of the surrounding Alps never leaves your side.

Meersburg
Meersburg is perched on a hillside above the lake, famous for its vineyards and castle. The medieval Meersburg Castle claims to be the oldest inhabited fortress in Germany, while the Neues Schloss showcases baroque architecture. The steep cobbled streets link terraced wineries, lakefront cafés, and historic squares. With both cultural landmarks and striking views across the water, Meersburg blends history and scenery seamlessly.

Badenweiler
Badenweiler has been known for healing waters since Roman times, with ruins of a 1,700-year-old bath still preserved. Today, Cassiopeia Therme offers indoor and outdoor pools filled with mineral-rich water at around 34°C, plus saunas and panoramic relaxation areas. The spa’s hillside location provides sweeping views of the southern Black Forest.

Konstanz
Konstanz is the largest city on Lake Constance, located right on the Swiss-German border. Its medieval old town survived World War II largely intact, preserving landmarks such as the 15th-century Konzil building and the Romanesque cathedral. The harbor is marked by the rotating Imperia statue, a local icon. With its mix of university town atmosphere and historic character, Konstanz is the cultural hub of the lake.

The 11th-century Hohenklingen Castle overlooks the town and river, offering sweeping views. Stein am Rhein is compact but full of architectural charm, making it a highlight on the western arm of Lake Constance.

Lindau
Lindau sits on an island connected to the mainland by bridge, giving it a distinct maritime character. Its harbor, framed by a Bavarian lion statue and a 33-meter lighthouse, is one of the most photographed spots on Lake Constance. The old town features pastel-colored houses, arcaded streets, and churches dating back to the Gothic era. Lindau’s lakeside setting with an Alpine backdrop makes it an essential highlight of the circuit.

Rhine Gorge
Known as the “Swiss Grand Canyon,” the Rhine Gorge stretches for 13 kilometers between Ilanz and Reichenau. Its sheer white cliffs rise up to 400 meters, carved by Ice Age glaciers and the mighty Rhine River. Popular with hikers and cyclists, the gorge is one of Switzerland’s most dramatic natural landscapes.

Strasbourg Cathedral
This Gothic cathedral, completed in 1439, was once the world’s tallest building at 142 meters. Inside, the astronomical clock built in 1843 is a highlight, with moving figures that perform daily at solar noon. From the tower’s platform, 330 steps up, you can see across the Black Forest and Vosges mountains.
2. Central Schweiz (Luzern & Omegnen)

Denne rute fanger Schweiz' essens i miniature — fjordlignende søer, rullende stigninger og postkort-perfekte byer. Den er ideel for dem, der ønsker at blande blid cykling med kulturelle stop og afslapning ved søen. Gå ikke glip af disse nøglepunkter:

Lake Lucerne
This striking lake winds through fjord-like arms and steep mountainsides, offering constantly changing panoramas. Historic paddle steamers, some over 100 years old, cross its 114-square-kilometer surface, linking charming villages with alpine hiking and cycling routes.

With both cultural resonance and dramatic scenery, Lake Lucerne is a centerpiece of Central Switzerland.

Zug
Zug, on the edge of Lake Zugersee, is known for its prosperous old town and unforgettable sunsets. Narrow streets lead to a lakeside promenade, while the Zytturm clock tower, built in the 13th century, offers panoramic views over rooftops and water.

With its mix of cultural wealth and natural beauty, Zug is a highlight along the route.

Lucerne
Lucerne is one of Switzerland’s most picturesque cities, set on the shores of Lake Lucerne and framed by alpine peaks. Its medieval old town is filled with colorful frescoed houses, narrow alleys, and lively squares.
